Question
I have a plant that the leaves are a lighter green. The leaves are about the size of a quarter to the size of a silver dollar. The stem is about a 1/4 inch in from the edge of the leaf. The shape of the leaf is almost circular with a little bit of oblong in it, not much though. It is not too tall. The stems also are about 4 inches long that stick up from the center of the base of pant. Mostly straight stems doesn't lean over like spider plant. It looks kind of like a lilly pad with no split in it. Of course a lot smaller too and not in water. I don't believe I ever saw one like this before. I hope it makes sense.

Answer
Hi Kathy,

Based on your description, I think your plant may be a Peperomia polybotrya or coin leaf Peperomia.

If this is not what you have, let me know how yours differs or, even better, send a photo to me at the address below.

Please let me know if any of this is unclear or if you have any additional questions.
